2 BECOME A HOLY DOOR HELPER! The Diocesan Evangelisation Team invites you to help run a Mission to the Doors of Mercy in September this year. Each day between 19 and 23 September we will visit a different Holy Door Church and put on a series of meals. With your help, we will invite non-catholics and non-churchgoing Catholics to come and share a simple meal, hear something of Pope Francis message of mercy, and, for those who wish, take part in a short prayer service which ends with an opportunity to pass through the Holy Door. We are asking for help when we visit your local Holy Door in Merthyr Tydfil at St Mary s and St Aloysius on Tuesday 20 th September. We need helpers available during the afternoon and/or during the evening who can: welcome guests at the door and as table hosts; prepare or serve tea, coffee and soup; provide music and readers for the simple prayer service.

To ensure we have the correct lead names and contact details please check them by either viewing the directory on the Parish Website or take a hardcopy which is located in the Narthex (back of the Church). Please either any amendments or updates to Roland Fletcher (chair of the PAC) at fletcherfletcher@btinternet.com or telephone no later than the 10th July The approved minutes from the last meeting of the PAC, along with previous minutes are available on our parish website at: treforest/pac//minutes.html 3
